We've had surprisingly good experiences—generally the beta testers are reporting 1-3% battery consumption, and I think we could sample more frequently.

I think if we can get true, beat-to-beat monitoring, the health implications would be huge. Doctors don't care a whole lot about steps, but they definitely care about heart rhythm.

Sorry if this is a dumb question, but 1-3% over what time period? Per hour? Per day? Or are you saying it increases the normal idle power consumption by 1-3%?
1-3% per day, as measured by the "watch battery" panel in the Android Wear app. (Mine is currently at 1%).
How often do you sample?
